I keep on setting it to not update automatically, and keeps on doing it regardless. Today it updated itself, and it basically bricked itself. nothing will connect, I've had to spend the last 2 hours trying to sort it out, and then I've had to uninstall it and install an old version which does work. the current version, as of today, does not work properly, it literally will not connect to any website at all, and I keep getting the message "trying to connect" anytime I load it up.

That doesn’t sound right. Could you share some more details about the issue? Are you receiving any error messages? Have you tried switching protocols? Are you using any other VPNs on the same device? Are you using any firewall or antivirus? Contact us through the 'Report an issue' option in the app menu so we can help you troubleshoot.

Great service at a fair price. What's really great about this app is that it offers multi hop capabilities through their secure core based in multiple privacy friendly countries. For some reason, that's a rare, but critical feature for privacy. No other major provider offers that, not even Nord. Breaking through 1 VPN, possible and not hard for some. Breaking through 3 of them? Good luck. Better pack a lunch and be ready for a lot of delivery. Up to 10 devices, run a VM and run the VPN in VM.

I acctually love this app. Use it all the time and the speeds are almost as good as my normal WiFi. The fact it's so easy to connect and disconnect with no ads in between is unrivalled. The only downside is that you can't choose what country which is a bit annoying when watching netflix or something so that's y it's a 4

With the Free plan changes, we aim to provide optimal speeds and latency to everyone using our free, unlimited, ad-free VPN. That said, although you can't select a specific server as a free user, you can change the server that was initially assigned to you.
